Whilst regular ANOCSC commenter Ry was trying to get a photo of his door handle in the rear view mirror, a 57 Buick went rumbling past causing Ry to almost drop his phone on to the road and into the following traffic. That would have been a disaster as we wouldn’t have witnessed this rockin’ 57 Buick! It’s low, it’s got pinstripes, it’s black and orange, it’s got white walls, it’s got a rat sticker and it’s a coupe. Dream car wish list ticked off.
